Disclaimer = Just making it clear, I do not now nor will I ever own InuYasha...sadly. But also a lot of the story (from the producer of InuYasha) I stole off of wiki…..I was too lazy to type the entire story plot so. Enjoy
Once upon a time
"GRANDMA! GRANDMA!" Cried a high pitch voice, from a brown eyed beauty, around the age of 6. She had long straight brown hair, that reached mid waist and velvet eyes just as her mother and grandfather do.
"Yes, yes what is it Kagome?" asked the young girls grandmother
"Can you tell me the story of the Hanyou and the Miko? Pleeaaase that's my favorite bedtime story." Asked little Kagome
"Again? I've told you that story a million times already. Aren't you sick of it yet?" asked a confused old woman.
"Sango love you know young Kagome never asked for something unless she really wants it." Smiled at his wife, of 40 years.
"Miroku, you tell the story then." Smiled Sango.
"Oh but love we all know you tell the story the best." Miroku stated matter-o-factly.
"Fine, fine you win….ok where should I start
Kagome?" asked Sango
"Um…how about right at the beginning, that's my second favorite part of the story! If that's ok...Of course." Asked a timid Kagome
"Of course...alright ready?" Sango looked at Kagome then her husband sadly but happily telling the story of not just the Miko and the Hanyou but also the story of her best friends which she considered her sister and brother, and the story of her tragic yet happy life.
"Whenever your ready koi." Smiled warmly at his wife knowing how hard it will be to tell this story again. It was hard for him just thinking about it, let alone telling it to someone else. 'Hopefully she wont break down again like last time...it will be hard though...I'm sure she is quiet aware that today is the anniversary of the worst day of our lives.' Miroku grimaced at the memory.
"STORY TIME, STORY TIME!" Chanted a very excited little girl.
"Ok…Once upon a time there was a jewel called the Shikon No Tama, or in other words the jewel of four souls. The jewel was created through the body and power of a very powerful miko knows as Midoriko. Midoriko wasn't just and ordinary priestess she had the power to purify the soul of horrid demon, which is why they all coveted her death…and after 3 day and-" as far as Sango got before being interrupted by a bored little girl
"BOOO! I don't care about her and that part I want to hear about the half demon and the miko from the future!" cried a very agitated little girl.
"Oh my apologies I thought you wanted the whole beginning…alright then well would you like me to start with InuYasha's beginning or where they met?" asked Sango not wanting to get interrupted again.
"InuWasha's beginning please." Asked Kagome politely
"Ok then…Once upon a time there was a terrible but great demon lord of the West know at Inu no Taisho or also known as The Great Dog Demon. Now Inu no Taisho was a great and honorable demon. He did not judge people for the most part and he loved each of his mates very much. One of his mates was a full female Inu Demon. Her name is still unknown to this day. (If that isn't true please tell me so I can fix this. Thanks.) She bore Inu no Taisho's first son, Sesshomaru. Who we have all come to know and love. But Sesshomaru was cold and very hateful to anything and everything, a gene he inherited from his mother. Now Lord Inu no Taisho's second mate, Lady Izayoi was a mere human like you and me. But she was amazing women and person she didn't judge by whom you were or what you were and was a very kind and caring soul. Eventually lazy Izayoi bore lord Inu no Taisho a second son, named Inu Yasha. Making him half demon half human, in other terms a Hanyou."
"Ok never mind grandma….can we just skip to where he gets betrayed…this is
"oh yea sure uum…ok…there was once a priestess named Kikyo…It became Kikyo's duty to spend her life guarding the Shikon no Tama, protecting it from the wicked humans and demons who sought it for their own selfish means. However, her duty as the jewel's protector also meant that she could not show any signs of weakness, lest demons or evil men took advantage of her. Kikyo spent most of her time killing off demons who tried to steal the Jewel. However, the one demon that she refused to kill was InuYasha, because she sensed that he was only half demon, with an abornal life of solitude much like herself. She also tended to Onigumo, a paralyzed thief with terrible burn scars all over his body. Later on, Kikyo confronts InuYasha and tells him about how she has to hide her real self in order to protect the jewel, and InuYasha sympathized with her. Eventually, InuYasha and Kikyo fell in love."
"AAW that's so sweet. Did they really love each other grandpa?" asked the curious girl.
"You could say that…lets let Sango finish he story ok?" said a nervous Miroku.
"Ok Jii-Chan." Said a very peppy Kagome
"Ok then well… Another Hanyou, formerly a human known only as Onigumo, but now called Naraku had been observing them, hoping to steal the Shikon no Tama for himself. He subsequently tricked them into betraying one another; in InuYasha's case he took on the form of Kikyo, and attacked Inuyasha. Because of Naraku's schemes, and their own lack of faith in each other, their relationship ended when Inuyasha broke into Kikyo's village and stole the Shikon Jewel. In defense of the village, and to keep him from escaping with the jewel, Kikyo shot Inuyasha with a sacred arrow sealing him to a tree in an eternal enchanted sleep for fifty years. Moments afterward, Kikyo collapses from a wound she received from Naraku, though at first the viewer is lead to believe that Inuyasha wounded her, and she dies within a few short moments. Part of her final instructions to her younger sister Kaede was to have the jewel burned with her body so that Yokai and evil men could never use it to wreak havoc upon the world….now 500 years in the future from now was a girl named Kagome Higurashi, your average teenage schoolgirl, is happily leading a normal life in contemporary Japan. But on her 15th birthday, a mysterious centipede demon emerges from an ancient well on her family's property and drags her back through the well to 500 years into the past…or also known as our time. And on her very first look around she found the sacred tree known as the tree of ages or 'Goshinboku' where she first saw InuYasha pinned there. Now Kagome thought InuYasha was sleeping and was just and ordinary boy. 'Even though he had an arrow in him and roots grown around him...*sigh* oh Kagome.' She was eventually taken back to Kikyo's old village where she was questioned and what not about where she came from. Until that is the same-" Sango was cut off again but this time by a red headed emerald eye young man looking around in his late teens standing tall with his big bushy tail. And a two tailed cat ran up beside him.
"Oh hey what are you guys doing? Kirrara and I were getting worried." Stated a very confused fox demon.
"Uncle SHIPPO!" screamed a VERY excited little Kagome. Running up to hug Shippo
"Sango was telling Kagome about the Hanyou and the miko story again." Miroku giving Shippo a sad smile, knowing how much he blamed himself for what had happened. Even though there was nothing he could do in order to stop it from happening.
~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shippo you have to protect Kagome and the pups no matter what ok!" Screamed a very pained half demon
"Ya sure…but what about you InuYasha? How will you make it?" asked a very young and confused fox demon.
"I don't plan on it...use Tetsusaiga to save yourselves…and this." Inuyasha walked over and placed his fire rat Haori (spelling?) Over the unconscious Kagome and the 4 pups.
"But InuYasha…you can't leave! You cant beat them this time InuYasha your way to injured" cried Shippo
"Sorry Shippo but I have to protect my family…I promised all of you...no matter what…oh and Shippo no matter what you believed I have always cared about you even from the beginning with the thunder brothers. But you knowhow hard headed I was back then." Stated InuYasha with one of his most rare smiles that no one but Kagome got to see not even the pups, Before walking away, with a final kiss to beloved's forehead. "Alright you bastard this is where it ends!" screamed InuYasha little did he know that the one he wanted to be safe the most had awoken and was running right after him calling his name "INUYASHA!" leaving her pups and his behind to be protected by Shippo, her adopted son.
Right before the blast hit them Shippo could still hear they're eldest son, Inu no Taisho screaming and crying for his parents to come back and protect him like they usually would and tell him everything was going to be ok. Not knowing that the last thing he would see of his parents is his father kissing his beloved in a tight embrace knowing that no matter what he did to protect her, she wouldn't survive the blast that was coming for them, and neither would he.
~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Uncle Shippo? Uncle Shippo! Grandma what's wrong with uncle Shippo!" asked a nervous Kagome
Sango and Miroku just stared at Shippo knowing exactly what was wrong…but how could he not feel the blame when the eldest son still blamed him for their death's and not stopping them from sacrificing themselves and how he just stood their not even trying to stop his father to try something different.
Miroku was the first to speak after." Shippo?" asked Shippo carefully
"Oh…really? Would you mind if I listened too?" asked Shippo with his voice cracking and not even caring staring at his feet remembering one of the many things InuYasha had taught him…men don't cry. This was what Shippo wanted to do most in the world right then and there.
"Not at all my good friend, it is a glorious day for a little get together…now if only our children and the others would arrive they could hear the story also." Smiled Miroku trying to cheer up the young kitsune.
"Ok then now where was I? Oh yes… She was eventually taken back to Kikyo's old village where she was questioned and what not about where she came from. Until that is the same night Mistress Centipede had attacked the village looking for the Shikon no Tama. Nothing would work on her hard outer shell, and the young miko had realized the demon was after her so she ran to the bone eater's well the well she was dragged her from and the well that priestess Kaede had told the villagers they needed to bring it to. So Kagome being rash started running for InuYasha's forest.
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The well?"
"Yes child the dry well in the forest of InuYasha"
"which ways the forest? Where the lights shining right? Ill draw it away!"
"Ne child! Come back!"' How is It she can see what cannot be seen in the forest of InuYasha'
Farther away
'Someone will save me right? They've got to! Grandpa? Mom?' "Whoever you are please somebody help me!" cried out Kagome
* A Dogs Howl*
Forest of InuYasha
* A Dogs Howl*
*thump….thump…..thump…..thump*
'What? I'm alive but how? I thought that bitch shot me with an arrow. Keh guess I'm tougher than she thought I was…stupid bitch.' "Ugh…I smell it the smell of the women who killed me…and its coming closer." InuYasha reeled back his hand from the purifying arrow that still held him pined against a tree. 'Damn…' was all he could think of. That is until he saw a young girl with a familiar smell falling in front of him…
"Hello their Kikyo" stated InuYasha venomously
"Huh? You're alive?"
